MedWest Health System is sponsoring a series of “Look Good … Feel Better” workshops in 2012 for women undergoing treatment for cancer.

The free workshops are American Cancer Society programs facilitated by trained cosmetologists and offered in partnership with the National Cosmetology Association, the Personal Care Products Council Foundation and MedWest- Harris hospital in Sylva.

Participants will learn how to care for changes in their skin and hair that may occur during medical treatment, and improve their overall selfimage and appearance.

Attendance per workshop is limited to 10 women. To register, call (828) 631-8100 and leave name and telephone number. Each participant will receive a complimentary makeup bag with brand-name cosmetics.

“Look Good…Feel Better” workshops will be held from 10 a.m. to noon in the Conference Room of Harris Medical Park, 98 Doctors Drive. Remaining workshop dates for 2012 are June 4, Aug. 6, Oct. 1 and Dec. 3.
